Unit Overview:

In 1850, America was still predominantly a land of farms, villages, and small businesses and fewer than 1 million people were employed in mill and factories. The nation’s annual output of

manufactured goods amounted to only 1 billion dollars. The development of the textile industry in New England after 1815 leading to a Market Revolution (1815-1845) contributing to early industrialism where most of the labor in these days was done by women and children working under harsh and unsafe conditions. The second half of the 19th century was a period of great industrial growth for the United States stimulated by the Civil War’s demand for weapons, war supplies, farm equipment, and machinery of all kinds. After the war, the extension of railway networks and the development of the nation’s coal, iron, lumber, petroleum, oil, and water resources brought industrialization to the Midwest, and then the Far West and the South, changing the economic condition for American society forever.
